Installing MSSQL after installing XPe Dev

[Dave August]

This isn't exactly an XPe question but...

I've installed the XPe dev enviornment and I have a new project starting
that's going to require me to install the full MSSQL system. Obviously Xpe
installed an MSSQL runtime.

Is the full MSSQL installation going to cause me any problems one way or the
other? It's like;y to be a newer version of MSSQL so...

I'd rather not uninstall the XPe stuff because I do have a client that I'll
probably have to do maintenence work for.

best practice if you need full SQL server is to not install MSDE (comes with
toolkit) and just create a DB instance for your XPE tools. should have no
issue running XPE DB on full SQL, as larger, shared dev environments do it
all the time.
